BALMER 9 We Honor l In l94l when we were Freshmen, japan attacked Pearl Harbor and the United States declared war upon the aggressor nations. Although the actual combat seemed far away, awareness of the war was soon thrust upon us. Faculty members left to join the services, our curriculum was subjected to many changes, our time was spent in collecting scrap paper and working in defense plants or on farms as well as in school, our money was put into VVar Bonds and the Red Cross. Altogether too soon the boys of our own class became of an age to enlist. Yes, we complained about the difficulty of obtaining materials and the curtailment of en- tertainment before it became necessary to purchase this memorial plaque. The names placed in it are those of boys we have known: Allan Burrows Frank Brown Louis Caccamise Francis Castle Howard Covell john Darby john Darrow Carl Dutton Frederick Feneran Robert Graney Leonard Ingles Hugh Pickell Kenneth Pinney Gerald Platt jack Reamer Anthony Riggi Earl Rubens Ralph Shepard Samuel Steffenella Robert Thompson Salvatore Vona james VValker Richard Longhany Reid Wloodward Charles O'C'een They too attended the Le Roy Public Schools and experienced joy in a victory over Batavia, groaned about the amount of history homework, worked and played as we do. Events of the world are moving swiftly. On May 8, scarcely a month after the death of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, we celebrated victory in Europe and turned our full attention upon the Pacific. Today we dedicate this plaque to those men who made our victories possible, and in so doing lost their lives. -Neg 1 0 ji?-D.- 5Tf?4Wf ww Q iill 5!?Z'- of mf Adlninistration EDWARD W. SPRY Mr. Spry. our superintendent, wrote this greet- ing for the Class of 745. l know that every Senior values his message. HTV!It'I1 llzzfbv ?Ull.:5flt'l'5 lore, 'Tlzozf 11111sf,' The lyozzflz rc'fWI.es, 'I C6111 f' Events of the past four years confirm for me the truth and fitness of these lines written by Ralph XYaldo Emerson and give me confidence in the future of our social order, both national and international. Pearl Harbor, with all its sad but infuriating consequences. came early in your freshman year. The youth who had attended your and other high schools in the decade of the thirties were thought to be flabby, mentally and physically. They had been accused of being relief seekers and con- firmed pacifists. Many had taken the Oxford Pledge. During the pgtst four years American youth has been demonstrating that these criticisms were without real foundation. Corregidor and Bataan bear testimony to their sad lack of preparedness but also to their possession of invincible courage. During these four years we have followed these young men and young women as they have gone- many directly from our school roomsvto training camps. and then as they have gone to their battle stations around the world, some in the Army, some in the Navy, and others in the Air Corps. XYe are all aware of how well they have done their jobs. The fact that in the brief space of eleven months our boys have driven the much-boasted, unbeatable Nazi military machine back from Cherbourg to Berlin and forced it to accept an unconditional surrender bears ample evidence of their intelligence, physical Htness and courage. During the same time, others of our armed forces on the other side of the world have won back and avenged Corregidor and Bataan and have the leaders of another power-drunk nation certain of impending defeat. Once our youth had sensed the issues at stake, there has been no faltering. To the challenge that these rapidly advancing enemy hosts be stopped, Youth has replied and made good on its declara- tion. I canf' b Some members of your class of 1945 are now with the armed forces. Others will be inducted before school opens again. Perhaps in a year- we hope less-japan will acknowledge defeat. Then will come the task of building a structure to prevent future wars, and building a social order in which the people of the world may enjoy politi- cal freedom and may achieve economic and social satisfactions commensurate with their efforts and desserts. This building of a new social order in which ..... the war-drums throlvlwd 110 longer, mm' the battle-flags were furl'd In tlzc Parliament of man, the Federation of the world has been an age-long dream. The idea of a Brotherhood of Man was born in a herdsman's shed in Nazareth. You know from your experiences of the last four years that youth has been willing to give its all in behalf of a better social order. More than twenty-live boys of Le Roy High School have made the last supreme sacrifice for this cause. XYill you make it your responsibility that they did not die in vain? This new social order won't be achieved in a year, a decade or two decades. Yours is the generation which has lived closest to it. You must have acquired a definite realization of the urgent need for building for world peace and reached some conclusions respecting the changes that must come in the present social and economic orders. Will you accept the responsi- bilitv? i UTVIIUII Duty whispers lore, 'Tlzozf m11.rl',' The Vozftlz replies, 'I can. if 12 lie-- Adnlinistration THE LIBRARIANS Doris Green, Marie Taylor, Mary Mairs Baum OF EDL'cA'r10N Standing: Charles White, H.

Top floor saw the Class of '45 that year - we were the first lfrosh to rate the honor. Our executive group consisted of john Fagan, john lianaley, Mary Cravotta and Gerard Green. advised by Miss Morrison and Mr. Burton. The basketball candy sales, under the management of jerry flreen, supplied our first source of income. 'lYay back in 1943 we Sophs started the slogan A jeep by j unem. l guess the slogan must have injected quite an amount of patriotism into the school because by june we purchased not one, but two jeeps. Our treasury increased with the pro- ceeds trom the ice cream and soft drink sales during the basketball season. That was the year we combined our efforts with the Freshmen to give a Valentine Dance. which proved quite suc- cessful not only financially but socially. lYill I ever forget the Sophomore Speaking Contest? Despite weeks and weeks of practice our nervous- ness was evident by the tremor of everyonels knees. Muriel Nixon and Carl lflutchinson took the honors of the evening. As advisors that year lllrs. lialmer and Mr. Cole worked with our officers: jolm Fagan, Arthur Baube, Sam Pala- dino and Gerard Green. Heading the list of my junior memories is the troublesome term paper which was due directly following Easter vacation. l'oor Miss DeYoe was almost frantic with worry as to whether we would come through. Much to her surprise we did M -- si-5 18 lf' of failing us all. lt seemed as though our good fortune had left us when the junior Prom de- creased, not increased, the balance of our treasury. The Seniors thought this a rare joke. lYe returned the laugh with our overwhelming success at the jitterbug Contest and the junior lfrolic square dance. XYe were game to try our luck in public speaking again, This time Ellen Skinner won top honors in the Larkin Speaking Contest. The junior Class had as ofiicers. Carl Hutchinson. liermit Arrington, Barbara Beadle and Sylvia Hayward, with Miss DeX'oe and Mr. Smith the advisors. Our school was represented at liirl's State by Barbara Beadle and joyce Graham and at l3oy's State by Albert Machols. .-Xt last we became the upper classmen-Seniors -to have custody of Room 26. The Senior maga- zine campaign was a success for us-so much so that we were given an ice cream party by one of the companies and a number of pounds of candy by the other. Yum! l The newly organized t J-at-kan staff started their career by sponsoring a Sadie Hawkins Dance at which the accepted fashion was jeans and plaid shirts. We were rather skeptical at first as to the outcome of the Senior Ball since only one ticket had been sold before Spring vacation. Nevertheless, on the evening of April oth many Seniors and guests danced around the wishing well in our elaborate crepe paper pavilion. These last months have certainly found my class busily engaged in catch- ing up loose ends, cramming for exams and rush- ing around with a few extra plans to carry out before graduation. The last time the Class of '45 will appear together will be when we receive our diplomas on june 25th.

May 1944-XN'hat a laugh we had over Donald Kernutt's little campaign slogans, A boy in every parlorn and 'LTwo girls on every lap . Wie elect- ed him, but 1 donlt think helll fulfill his promise. September 1944 - Nominations, candidates, election. I couldnlt decide how to vote. It seemed as if all my best friends and 1 were on the slate for Student Council. Even if 1 didn't vote for me 1 became a representative from Room 26. October 1944-Our first meeting, and although the notice read 3 145 most of the members straggl- ed into Room 26 around 4 100. NYere we bashful for the first five minutes l-Hbut the subject of dancing took care of that. ln short order we appropriated a new set of records for the julie box , and arranged a long schedule of dance dates for Mr. Smith to post. November 1944-Some busy body wanted to cut the assemblies down to two a month. 1 didn't, and my side won-207 to 172. VVe,ll continue to have an assembly every Thursday morning. December 1944-Disappointment for all con- cerned. The Rotary Club couldn't sponsor the annual New Year's Dance and the plans for the Christmas party fell through. Besides that, Vice- -A ag 42 president Carl Hutchinson left to join the Armed Forces. january 1945-I guess examinations and the forgetfulness of Secretary Joyce Graham account for the blank space in the minutes. February 1945-Short month, short meetings. VVe agreed on something finally, and voted unani- mously for the adoption of 14-year-old war orphan, Luigi Fiorentini. All in Five minutes, too. March 1945-Poor Donald. The very thought of speaking before the Student Council delegates at Elba spoiled his dinner. He must have had a nice time anyway, because our meetings have been pepped up by suggestions introduced there. VYe've planned to join the proposed Genesee-Orleans League of Student Governments. April 1945-Somebody's always dissatisfied. It was claimed that Student Council hadn't been very active in school planning. So-at one of our meetings we hashed over improvements for the school, and ended by planning a brand new build- ing. All modern conveniences - loudspeaker system, lighted showcases, movable seats, new gym and swimming pool. lYe can dream, can't we? May 1945-Right back where l started.

I'm not especially in- tellectual, but l was proud of being chosen for the National Honor Society. May 10-Today we held the animal spring in- duction of members into the National Honor Society. Seven students were chosen, three from the Senior Class, Elizabeth Longhany, Virginia Paganin and Doris De Long, and four from the Junior Class, Esther Artman. Patricia Gleason, Orpha Skinner, and Elwood Heddon. Ellen Skinner, president, introduced the speaker. Mr, james Davenport of the Genesee Council of Hoy Scouts. Mr. Davenport defined the four basic principles of the Society, spoke briefly about each, and illustrated his talk with amusing antecdotes. Following the address the secretary, Muriel Nixon, led the group in the pledge, after which membership cards were presented by the treas- urer, Barbara Headle. l,ast fall we inducted into the societv three seniors: Mary Cravotta, Marion Crnkovich. and Carl Hutchinson. The program was interestingly staged in the informal setting of a living room. The old members presented short sketches about ordinary Americans who personified the principles for which the Honor Society stands: scholarship, service, character, and leadership. The six members at the beginning of the year were Ellen Skinner, Muriel Nixon, Barbara Beadle. 'lean Peet, joyce Graham, and Thomas Shaughnessy. During the course of the year Tom Shaughnessy. and later Carl Hutchinson, left for the service. We have had the honor of compiling the Memory Bookn, a scrap book of photographs and brief biographies of each former Le Roy High School student who gave his life in Wiorld XYar H, which will be kept as a permanent record of their sacrihce. The National Honor Society is also going to have charge of conducting the memorial service at which time the names of those boys will be placed in the placque in the lower hall. Miss Mildred Burton, the advisor of this society, offers suggestions and services to help keep it functioning. lst row: M. Cravctta, E. Longhany, V, Paganin, D. De Long, O. Skinner. 2nd row: M.

Joyce Graham is to be editor with Marian Crnkovich and Carl Hutchin- son as business managers. The yearbook should be a success ..... here's hoping. November-Miss Gourley, our faculty adviser, rushed frantically about all day today and yester- day trying to corral all the Seniors for their pic- tures. VVe had a heated discussion on whether the girls should Wear blouses or sweaters for the trying moment. Blouses won by a vote.

Sort of a girls'-eye view of athletics. Anna Paladino and VVillie Klinkbeil wandered into the O-at-kan room this noon with the last of the ads. It's about time. Literary work is still dragging.

I was all pepped up about war stamps after that movie Friday on our soldiers in the Pacific when I niet Miss Kettle on her way to launch the 7th XYar Loan Drive. The inevitable green tin box tilled with war stamps was tucked under her arm. I was curious about the banner which had previously been presented during assembly pro- grams. Awarded for the week's best record in stamp sales the poster bears the words Vict0ryd0jim1ds on you. PVC did our bit, did you? She informed me that since Rooms 7 and I4 had oushed out all other competition there seemed to be no further reason for circulating the banner. After a few questions I discovered various things about this year's stamp sales. Through subscrip- tions and sales carried on by the representatives teach room has onej about 38.000 has been safely stowed away in VVar Bonds. A pretty good record, l think. Students about Le Roy I ligh School have been sporting the newest style of lapel pin-a Red Cross button. By voluntarily contributing a few cents to that worthy cause they are entitled to membership in the junior Red Cross. Literature and posters have been provided for the school campaign by the Local Red Cross committee of which Miss Thape and Miss Randall are the faculty representatives. Each homeroom was canvassed for donations by representatives of the high school committee elected by the student body. One day Mrs. Arthur Freeman, chairman of the ,Iunior Red Cross, spoke in assembly and offered suggestions for ways of giving further service. The students of Le Roy High School seem to realize the importance of the Red Cross and are glad to be a part of such an organization. -, Egg.- Wa IJUIGI l71oR12NT1N1 March 5-What do you know? Le Roy High School is now a foster parent. XYe received news today of our adopted war orphan, Luigi Fioren- tini. Of course, we may never actually see our child, but our monthly contribution of fifteen dollars makes it possible for the Foster Parents Plan lnc. to support him in an English colony. Luigi is a little Italian boy who was born Nov. 24, 1930. XVhen he was scarcely one year old his mother died so he was left under the care of an aunt in the home of his father, a prosperous saddlemaker. In 1942 when the Germans invaded the country around his home Luigi lost his father, and it soon became evident that the aunt could not support the youngster. Being a sensitive child, he suffered much within himself from the horrors of war around him. Although physically strong he was mentally upset and felt that there was no safety or security any- where until he was taken to England. l.uigi's mental inclination seems to be toward science and letters. His great ambition-to be- come a journalist- is being helped along by his studies at the colony. He is becoming more lively and happy in his English home, and he is very grateful for the help which Americans have given him. Wle are certainly proud that we can help him. After considerable difficulty we were able to have l.uigi's letter translated from the Italian .... England November 18, 1944 Dear foster parents, This morning I received news that many Americans want to help us Italian boys. I rejoic- ed in the news that 1 am able to receive help from my brothers who are far away and whom I do not know. The fact that Catholics are the children of God is a good thing for me because I am an or- phan with no mother or father. 1 have not seen you and will probably never meet you in this land of tears but I am certain that we shall become acquainted in heaven because as Catholics we are the sons of God and you are my brothers spiritually. My village was bombed, that was the fault of the Germans. 1 was not there at the time but in Rome. However, my relatives have told me certain things which are sad and very horrible. The place from which I am writing has been ruin- ed by this terrible war. Almost everywhere you encounter crosses on which are the helmets of soldiers. Clothes and especially shoes are not to be found and if you do find them they are too expensive. I find myself very short of shoes and no one can buy them for me. A pair of shoes would be praised highly. 1 pray to God that He will grant all your wishes and that He will keep you from danger and give good health to you and your families.

XYe were stopped as usual half way through the piece-part of the band continued to play anyway. Given the down beat once more we proceeded to plow through a Sousa number.

XYe literally swayed back and forth in our chairs in time to the melodious strains of the music! XYe also played happily through our other numbers, lntermezzoH and .fX1naryllis'l. The orchestra was the beginning feature of the spring concert in celebration of the 22nd anni- versary of National Music XYeek. XYhen the curtain opened the audience probably had the im- pression that we were a perfectly calm and poised musical organization. If they had only known that live minutes before the .-X string on Ellen Skinner's violin had broken. This had sent the frantic violinist tearing home in a dither after another string. And so it goes, just one of those little laughs that the audience never hears. I'll never forget the Christmas program. The whole orchestra was squeezed into a little two-by- four space just about big enough for the kettle drum and the double bass. Our little tin can rack lights were nice except that someone forgot to turn on the switch during one of the scenes. Our rchestra carols weren't bad despite the fact that we had wise men and shepherds wading through our midst to get to Bethlehem on the stage. The or- chestra was seated facing the audience. creating the problem of how to see the music, Mrs. Luther. and the pageant all at the same time. l managed somehow, and even was able to sing with the chorus. Yersatile, wasn't I? XYhile l'm on the subject of the orchestra l might as well include the assembly program pre- sented on March ZZ. XYe played N-lf-C-l , lntermezzol', and three Brahms compositions. For some reason we also raced madly through liralnnsl l3lacksmith.l' Our program included several solos and duets. It seems to me that jim Dowling, Ellen Skinner, Ralph -lanssen, Bingo Graham. and Beverly Russell played solos. Our applause from the audience sounded more than polite. so l guess our program was a success. My mother is not going to appreciate my light on at this time of night, even if it is for the great cause of catching up in my journal. Good night. lst row: E. Skinner, B. Heddon, B. Russell, A.

The chorus sang at the Christmas program as a musical background for the pageant. All fifty of us, plus the orchestra, were squeezed into the space between the audience and the stage. About every other one of us could breathe. l'reparation for the program took a lot of work. At the beginning ot each period libra- rians josephine Mogavero and Betty Longhany struggled to distribute the music evenly. After accompaniest Esther Artman started the intro- duction all noise stopped-supposedly. The first attack was never quite right so we automatically stopped to begin again. XYe sang gaily along until the rattle of pages turning drowned out our voices. After repeating a few bars we success- fully mastered the feat of turning the pages noise- lessly together. l had to memorize those last few measures-otherwise my page was always ahead or behind the other forty-odd pages.

XYe are planning to sing a cantata, The Daughter of .Iairus , by joseph Rheinberger and The Palms by Faure. Mary lanello, Betty .lane Rogers, Ellen Skinner, Mary Rita Catalfami, Mary Cra- votta. and Muriel Nixon are to have solos. I can just see me singing a solo. All I lack is a voice. My soprano is barely able to qualify for the chorus. The chorus l expect will help with the Spring Concert. I wonder what we'll sing.

About that time some of the chorus should be in the Alexander competitions. l've been in chorus four years. and l do know now what it means to work tor good diction. ex- pression, harmony, and above all good music. lg. .- o E.

I'm supposed to write an article on the accom- plishments of the llramatics Club. I might as well kill two birds with one stone and include it in 1ny journal too. VVe started things really buzzing in Draniatics Club this year with our-1945 version of Let Me Come Back , that timely story of a young soldier who returned after death to urge indifferent high school students on to further education. Arthur Roth was cast as the soldier with Zada Metzler playing the discouraged young school teacher. That all-important human touch was added by Carl Hutchinson as the kindly old janitor. XYe started production with all the usual confusion: tryouts, learning parts. costumes, properties, stagehands, and then rehearsals and more re- hearsals. XVe were all more than rewarded for our work when we received an invitation to repeat the performance before the Rotary Club. ln December we were again in the limelight with a pageant, Birthday of a King , produced in conjunction with the Chorus and Qrchestra. There were few speaking parts and properties but loads of costumes were needed. Miss Gourley and the costume committee went into a huddle and came out with an incredible number and variety. The stage manager, Melvin Heins scoured -..Q if 52 the school for extension cords and electrical stuff and turned out some very effective staging. The chorus and orchestra kept all our familiar Christ- mas carols ringing throughout the play, really putting us into the Christmas spirit. Of course the cradle did begin to smoke a little during the third act so that Raymond Roth had to nearly strangle himself to keep from giggling-and oh, yes! ! Leonard lannello and Carmelo Corcimiglia set a new pace as gum-chewing shepherds. Orpha Skinner, Ethel Lynch, and Bernice Richards made you look twice to make certain that they weren't real-genuine angels. On the whole we were rather pleased with our second big venture. Of course we have loads of plans for the fu- ture-l.atin-American Assembly. short plays and all, so on the whole we think it chalks up to a pretty successful year. In one of our business meetings we elected as our officers. Carl Hutchin- son, Mary Ann Call, and Bob Mooney. The fol- lowing tried out and were admitted as new mem- bers: Rene Carey, Melvin Heins, Onnolee Milroy, Nancy Ann Smith, Edward Scanlan, Ger- maine Lauwereins. Margaret Callahan, Marianne johnson, and james Henry. Now all I need is a closing sentence. I'll think of something clever tomorrow. EM.- April - l.ights, curtain, music, phooey. The senior play has come and gone. XYhat a let-down . . . to have all the excitement over, even the work. Nothing is left now but the memories. XYhat memories, though ll My first thoughts of the senior play came when the rumor- Miss Gourley has chosen a play -buzzed through study hall. The tryouts were agoniz- ing ordeals. XYill I get a part or won't I? Everyone, including me, lived for the next few weeks in terror of that back bulletin board where the results of the tryouts were to be posted. At last the list came and rehearsals began. For the next month I did literally nothing but attend play practice. I also attended classes- but just in body because my mind contin- ually rehearsed my part in the play. The whole cast lived the same way. Our parts had to be memorized, stage directions corrected, and actions perfected. Before we knew it the day was here. The Class of l945 proudly presented their three act murder comedy, XYho Killed Aunt Caroline ? Curtain time was 8:00 o'clock. At that exact time our blue velvet curtains were still closed. Back stage a white-haired Aunt Caroline, played by Muriel Nixon, raced madly about with one stocking on, the other stocking-where? Margie Kizer, better known then as Miss Meena Mab- bitt. the meek, mild companion, found it for her. The curtains opened to the strains of an original, one-finger piano composition by Una, alias Dolly Paladino. Bev Foster, playing the motherly Mrs. Endicott, patiently tried to teach her pupil something-anything, in fact-for the small sum of fifty cents a lesson. From then Senior Play CAST-lst row: J.

Kanaley. on the play was just a continuum of laughter from the audience, especially during the scene in which Dan Donovan tHerbert Callj tried to avoid the amorous attentions of Beryl. The climax came after the two youngest Endicotts, Beryl, Eunice Lange, and Cicely, Marie Pala- dino, jitter-bugged the tea table in to the tune of Accentuate the Positive. Aunt Caroline with a piercing scream passed away after a few sips of tea. XX'ho killed her-Agnes Endicott, the young librarian, tjane Crigerj, Riccy Endicott, the future doctor, Uerry Greenj, or the young chemistry teacher, Miss Louise Mc Lain played by Sylvia Hayward? The skeptical young detective, Lt. Howard Clayton, tDonald Kernuttj, did not solve the mystery. but Agnes' fiance, Dave Thompson, tlired Kiblerj, stumbled on the cause of the murder. As no one had suspected-Miss Mabbitt was responsible for the crime. And so-there we were grinning happily at the audience, taking our stage bows to generous applause. ance Band l l Piano. J.

Cln marching days the commands of the hour sounded something like this - left taee, right fate. marking time, march, quarter wheel right, down the center hy fours. Ut' course ex- ercising days were a mixture of one. two. three, groan. grunt. up. down-down, Baslqethall periods were the ehoieest. ln the girls' version of the game twelve people played at the same time. XYhen the hall was on one end of the court the people on the other end either stood discussing the events of the world or just giggling. .Xs the games heeame more exciting giggles turned to shrielcs and the whole thing turned into a free-for-all. This is stretching the point alittle, hut not much. The C2..fX.pX. has aeeomplished quite a hit this year despite the change in gym teachers from Mrs. White to Mrs. Aiken.

I shall probably be cheering in my sleep. Our thoughtful hostess served doughnuts and cider to us faniished gals, lt must have been about 10:30 when we were finally shown the door. All in all, hard as it is, cheering is fun. XYhy, we even have had three different costumes-jeans and plaid shirts for practice. white skirts and sweaters plus emblems for the football season. and during the basketball season we proudly sported our original uniforms of bright red blouses with white pleated skirts fastened to suspenders by huge black buttons. All our worries are whished away by our marvelous manager. liuniee l.ange. who calls rehearsals. makes inspiring speeches. and even drives us to the out-of-town games.

Now with all the work over I almost wish I were just beginning in the other school. Our kindergarten days-my, how far back they seem-were interrupted by a few minor squables over inconsequential toys and games. Compared to the home- work of this past year our first feeble attempts to spell cat. dog, and boy seem very childish, but it was hard work then. The drinking fountain, chairs. tables, and doorknobs that were placed so low for our convenience must have been terrible for the teachers. lt was our fond hope to become classmen on the top floor. Those lucky fifth, sixth. and seventh graders passed classes and had a different teacher for every subject. How wonderful! l Being the seniors of the XYolcott Street School brought its responsibilities along with the fun. XYe undertook the Scoop , a mimeographed paper with news, jokes, and cartoons, in the storeroom on the top floor. It made no difference to us that the scenery kept there should be pre- served for future use so we jammed it into the cloakroom. Spelling classes suffered terribly about the time of Scoop publication. Unbeknown to Miss Mac- Larty many of those leaves of absence were spent, not working on the literary page, but having hilarious frolics on the gym roof. President Harry S. Truman, then a United States Senator, offered his congratulations to our little paper during a stop in Le Roy. Vfere we proud! l Even prouder now! ! XYe were exhibiting our talents even then. ln the fields of art and literature our tastes ran to giant geraniums and abstract mystery stories. Regardless, our work returned from the Caledonia Fair with gay blue, red, and yellow premiums attached. Vtle demonstrated our dramatic ability in original one act plays about the not-so-typical Glendon family and their friends. the Owens. The most im- portant feature of the year, the Spring Program, found the members of my class masquerading as lady bugs, elves, butterflies, and fairies in an amazing operetta. At last we, the extraordinary seventh graders. became the eighth graders-we were no longer cocks of the roost-just eighth graders. -.,-,gf 64 ga..- ? l Memories 'lune 22-Class night was wonderful, but l couldn't help thinking all the time how much I'll miss everybody. The old school looks kind of good now that lim leaving it. This yellow brick building will probably never be the same again. ln a few years my class, the Class of '45, will be just a bunch of amusing senior pictures in ancient O-at-kans, If theylll only look around them land marks of our reign will still be there-the plaque in the lower hall for the boys who gave their lives in Wvorld XYar ll, trophies signifying athletic victories with the still distin- guishable dates of 1943-1945, our initials scribbled in wornout books and desks, some torn and yellowed Red and Blacks, a program announcing the presentation of XYho Killed Aunt Caroline? . and maybe one verbal reminder. an antique history teacher who graduated way back in 1945. Even if we aren't remembered we won't forget those years 1944 and 1945. I suppose actually the teachers will be the first pegs in our memories of the good, old days . Miss Dennison's habitual idea that she could turn the lights off and still have the phonograph continue to play will always be amusing. This was definitely a senior English class joke, and Miss Dennison laughed amiably right along with us. VX'e'll never forget Mrs. Balmer and the old Webster dictionary in which she practically had to bury herself to find anything. ln the ofiice or in the Latin room Miss Burton carried her memory on little white tablet papers. Mr. Spry. the perpetual thinker, will be remembered along with his greeting at the beginning of each year, quote. It doesn't seem possible that another school term is-U. XYe shall probably be a little disgusted with ourselves for the classes we missed directly and indirectly, for what we thought were the hilarious jokes and incidents of the classroom, and at the time we wasted on nonsense, yet there will be a general agreement that those same wrongs would be repeated if we were young again. Next on our never-to-forgets will be those glorious sports events which high- lighted our high school days. The football game against Batavia when Johnnie Scheuing's clash with the enemy stirred our losing team on to victory-that one game had all the thrill, the ever-forceful school spirit, and the happy bliss of vic- tory possible in one day. XYe shall remember with laughter and longing the lighted football field, the crowded gymnasium for a basketball game, the cheering and jeer- ing spectators, the way one feels after standing through an entire game, the very hot days at a track meet in which your face is unmercifully sunburned, and last of all the presentation of awards to the proud athletes at the end of a successful season. The unusual moments of extracurricular program will prick our mem- ories delightfully. How we shall laugh when recalling the first play given before the student body during which part of the scenery fell down and one of the actors, Xvillie Reich, calmly put it back again. Likewise we shall be reminded of Freddie Kibler's terrible fright on the Senior Play's opening night. the mad rush to com- plete the O-at-kan, and Mr. Tountas' lovely dinner. The last stop in our sessions of remembering and reminding will be a scattered description of the building which housed our careers in Le Roy. Wie shall think about the way the stairs are slightly hollowed from the tread of hurrying feetg the squeaky boards in the third floor hall g the shadowed assembly during a play and the constantly drawn blue-velvet curtainsg the homely. familiar classrooms with knocking radiators and liapping shadesg the spring lawnsg and the excited appear- ance of the building lighted at night. XYell, let them forget us. XYe donlt mind. Le Roy High was ours for four years. We have left itinow, but we will always have our ever-returning memories of the Class of '45, ...egg Epi.- Diary Sept. 5-School days, school days. Deart?j old golden rule days.
